Development and validation of a multiancestry and multitrait polygenic risk score for lung cancer
摘要
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) quantify genetic susceptibilities, yet ancestry imbalance in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) limits the accuracy of monoracial PRSs in non-European populations. Here, we perform a multiancestry GWAS meta-analysis for lung cancer (76,953 cases and 1,886,372 controls), identifying 87 conditionally independent genome-wide significant loci, including two unreported cytobands. We use a PRS construction method, PRS-CSx, to develop a multiancestry PRS (
